Some traditions suggest consuming around eight whole cacao beans daily for wellness. While there is no universally set guideline on how many roasted cacao beans per day to consume, experts agree that a moderate amount is key to maximizing health benefits while avoiding potential side effects.

A study from Pennsylvania State University revealed that manipulating the roast time and temperature of cocoa beans can boost the potency of their beneficial compounds. This makes roasted cacao not only safe but also a flavorful and nutritious food, though moderation is key to avoid potential side effects from compounds like caffeine and theobromine.
